Squrriel with Hypothermia?

A few minutes ago I found a swimming alive squirrel in my pool.... We fished him out and we think he has hypothermia... We brought him into the warthm and am being very careful with him. He's in a cage, warming up. We aren't sure if his little leg is broken. I named him Willie, but now I need to help him. We aren't sure if he has hypothermia or has water in his lungs. Please help!Squrriel with Hypothermia?
Call a vet's office or any wildlife organization that is close to you, they will probably be able to help you.Squrriel with Hypothermia?
With hypothermia, you just need to warm him up (gradually). You can do this with a heat lamp, heating pad, hot water bottles, etc. If he has water in his lungs (aspiration pneumonia) then unfortunatley he will most likely die. Animals have a very hard time recovering from this. He will need to see an exotic vet or call someone from a rehabilitation center that knows how to care for them. You can get online and search for the Parks and Wildlife website for your state (for example, im in texas so i just type in Texas Parks and Wildlife in the search engine and the first one is the website I need) Then you go to rehabilitation, search by county, and there should be the names of volunteer rehabilitators and the animals they specialize in (deer, squirrels, birds, etc.). There will be a number and you can call anytime. They can help you the most, and most likely will come get the animal and take him back with them to attempt to save him and release him back into the wild. Please dont consider keeping him as a pet, especially if he is already an adult.
Call your local Animal control and get the name of a wildlife rehabilitator. You don't want to have to go through rabies shots over a squirrel. It's just too dangerous for you to try to help him. And he won't do well in captivity.
When I bottle fed pups and a couple times they got so excited that they got fluid into lungs, I held Them upside down(fully supporting body) and patted them on the back, just a little harder than burping a baby. With a wild squirrel you would probably need to wrap in a towel. By the way i knew they had fluid in their lungs cause I could hear bubbling when they breathed in and out. Good Luck!! I am a softy for squirrels. I used to have one that I bottle fed(to save it's life) and it ended up a pet for several years, until I started to feel bad that it never got to experience the outdoors.
